Convert a photo of physical notes and hand-drawn diagrams into editable vector
I was blown away when I learned about a feature in the app Inkflow. The name of the feature that I'm referring to is Inkport. Check out this video to see why I think this feature would be incredibly useful in GoodNotes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAd23h9RQeU
This feature would be amazing for note-taking and getting assignments done.
Imagine that students are given a handout in class with questions that they need to answer. However, the problem is that it's impossible to write the answers next to the question because there is very little space given in the handout. This obligates students to either…21 votes -
Automatically Create Outlines based on Highlights/Annotations
It would be a huge time saver if somehow the app would automatically index any sort of annotation to either the front of the doc to summarize certain chapters or documents. This could effectively summarize the ideas and create an outline of the doc so that one would not have to go back to find different highlights etc.

Smart select
Other than just the lasso tool to select pieces of a Goodnotes document, I’d like to see a “smart select” option that would let you highlight written or typed text (like LiquidText can do for PDFs), so that you can move and edit the properties of the selected handwritten text. This would also help avoid erroneous selection of text and/or objects with the lasso tool and make the application more user-friendly.

Remove File Browsing Animation
Please add an option to remove the animation when moving through files (i.e. opening folder, opening file) to make it snappier. Sometimes I have to open a file in a whole other directory and it alway takes what feels like ages to get there.

Select multiple pages and change template and change all white text to black (or vice versa).
I write my notes in the black template with some white writing and it's impossible to print my notes this way. Having a feature that automatically identified white text in the selected pages and also changed the template would be so helpful for the process of printing!

Adding the Link to a document which also is saved on goodnotes
I don’t know whether this is possible, but I think it would be great if one could add/link a document into a notebook.
But not in the way that you would have to get through the pages but for example, you‘d see the icon of the document or document folder on the page in your notebook and when you click on it, the linked document would open up.
This would be especially great for word documents, since I sometimes write something into a notebook but I don’t like the text box option. Having the option to link the document, I…1 vote -
Improve size of flash cards on mac
The flash card studying window on a mac is not using the screen size. The window on an iMac is so small that the cards are only barely readable even if the application is opened as a full screen window.

Template with dynamically numbered pages
A template with an automatic numbering system. The template would have a positionable "page number" feature, with the option to have the total page count as well. I wouldn't have to manually add "1 of 6", "2 of 6" to my pages, then change them all if I add a 7th page.

For Teachers: Hide document contents from students until "activated"
When teaching I feel I have only two options: 1) Show the completed note set to students all at once or 2) Transfer the notes from another document into a blank goodnotes document. Option 1 can be overwhelming to students and option 2 can lead to mistakes when transferring the messages.
A feature that could solve these issues would be the option to open a document in "teaching mode". "Teaching mode" would show the students a blank document, however for the teacher on the iPad (or other device) they would see the document they had prepared with all the writing…

Make it so the search function recognizes text on pictures.
A lot of the notes I download for school have diagrams with text labels that the search function doesn't find. An OCR program built into the search function would smooth this over and wouldn't be difficult.

Make popover behavior for image tool and elements tool more consistent

Make selecting and editing objects faster and easier
This applies mainly to the situation when I am using an Apple Pencil.
Let’s say I want to resize and reposition an object (image, shape or element).
Right now, when a tool like the pen or the marker is selected, I have to tap and hold the object with my finger to bring up the edit menu. Then I have to select "Edit" to select the object and make it editable.
Or I have to switch to the image, shape or element tool in the toolbar. Then I can tap the object with my pencil (or finger) to resize it…1 vote -
Editing text fields should work more like it does in Apple’s Pages or Microsoft’s Word in the Mac Version of GoodNotes
Editing text in text fields should work the way it does in Pages or Word because that’s what people are used to. It’s confusing that GoodNotes has a different way of handling this and it throws me off every time I’m working with text fields.
In Pages and Word, clicking a text field once selects it. Then you can click it again to get the cursor to appear so that you can start typing. To deselect the text field, you just click anywhere else in the page.
However, in GoodNotes, after clicking a text field once to select it, clicking…1 vote -

Measuring tape for more precise sketches. Additionally a middle point feature is practical for most intents and purposes.

list pop-up instead of horizontal
the function of cut, copy, delete etc when selecting text,images and such are so far given in a horizontal manner.
I would like to suggest to switch the display of the options to a list, instead of a long horizontal pop up.even after so much use of the app, it’s not intuitive to my eyes, and if by chance more users would feel the same, it might make the UX more smooth , thanks in advance ;)

More Accurate Autogenerated Line/Shape
Please try and make parabolic shapes, curved lines, and other shapes to more accurately represent the path of the pencil stroke. The ones now are good, but I would like a more accurate swept line - meaning closer to the path my pencil head took, not a predefined ellipsis.

Gallery to share PDF templates created
Hi GoodNotes Team,
I think that on your website or blog (possibly even within the app) you should feature an area where users can share and download pdf templates they have designed to be used on the app. For example weekly planner templates, grocery list templates, to do lists, etc.
As a side note, a partnership with someone like Canva could be really beneficial for your business in something like this. I love using them to create PDF templates for your app!
Thank you for hearing my idea!
